    So why hundreds of thousands of Tesla buyers are OK paying for features and not getting them except, at best, much much later?

    Configured our 23 MYP with EAP @ $6k upon initial order in January. Shortly after joining the forums and a fair amount of Googling, we decided to rethink and pocket that $6k instead. It’d be awesome if the car could park itself in our tight garage space, but given the feature timeline (or lack...

    Tham's MYP Log/Journal

    I was referencing the price tag without options, fees, etc. Your timeline isn't quite accurate. There was roughly a 12-hour window on 3-FEB-2023 where the MYP was offered at $56,990 after the IRS increased the $55k tax incentive threshold. Around midnight ET, the price had already gone up $1k...

    Tham's MYP Log/Journal

    I got all my PPF, tint, and body work all done at a local shop in Virginia. Not sure that would apply to you as a Los Angeles resident, but if you're still interested, I can share details. :p Purchasing a Tesla (or any car for that matter), is certainly an interesting and multi-faceted...

    Sure do! As seen in the pictures, the dent(s) are very shallow and easy to miss under less-than-perfect lighting. Unfortunately for me, they're on/near what's referred to as a "DM" (double metal) section of the panel where it folds on itself making a nice smooth edge. This, along with being a...

    Yeah - nothing about this endeavor was cheap in any sense, but to be fair, the wall charger installation was the large majority of the "Accessories" cost. I hesitated even putting it there since it's borderline "must-have" IMO if you plan on charging 99% at home. The PPF is something a lot of...

    Event Log / Journal Thought it would be fun to share things as they come up. :) 11-MAR-2023 Quickly found out that she baaaarely fits in our garage! We have a 2-bay garage, but it's a pretty tight fit. We can shimmy between the nose and the garage door if we need to, but those are certainly...

    Tham's MYP Log/Journal

    Hi all. I just wanted to document my initial experiences with our first EV from soup to nuts and log anything noteworthy that comes up in the future. Ordering We initially ordered sometime early JAN-2023 once we'd heard about the Tesla price drops in addition to the IRS tax incentives. This was...

    Wind Noise new MYP

    Took delivery of ours on 11-MAR. Hit speeds of 60-70ish on the way home with no wind noise to speak of. Maybe we just got lucky?

    Car's Radio Works, but System Audio Doesn't

    Experienced this very briefly today in our MYP. Drove to dinner - everything worked as expected. Got back in the car to drive home - radio was on and playing (per the screen), but no audio actually coming through speakers. I "fixed" this by opening the theater and opening one of the apps...

    Looking good @freed0m ! I ended up pulling the trigger on the black-lettered flaps as well. I’ll probably get around to installing them over the next few days.

    Drove someone else’s Tesla using the app

    Sure hope the car is smart enough to know if the key is inside/outside the car (or at least within 5-10ft). My office shares a wall with my garage, so my phone is in “close-ish” proximity to it very frequently. Obviously not a deal breaker since the car is in an enclosed garage, but ideally it...

    Model Y austin delivery quality

    Congrats on the new ride. 1. & 2. I don’t feel like any of those gaps are something worthy of panel rearrangement, but that’s just my opinion. Some folks are more anal about this than others, so if it bothers you then have Tesla service your car. We just took delivery of ours the other day and...

    Brand new Model Y Perf. Continuously "wakes up".

    :oops: Man, feels like I’m reading a new “My Brand New MY <Insert_Problem_Here>” thread every day leading up to my own delivery date. Not giving me the warm and fuzzies.

    Should I black out my badges/emblems on my black MY?

    Sure - I'm sure they would do it too. If I went that route, I'd prefer to give them some guidance for the T E S L A letters specifically. I'll definitely ask if they have experience with this specific badge (they do a lot of Teslas, so it's certainly possible). The black dual motor badge would...

    Should I black out my badges/emblems on my black MY?

    Are there placement templates for any of the various badges? Once I take delivery, I'm almost immediately having my car wrapped and the shop will debadge the car in the process. They don't stock the "T E S L A" letters, so I purchased them myself and plan to install - the issue is, I've read...

    Your Thoughts: DEWALT Portable Jump Starter + Tire Inflator Combo

    Taking delivery of our first Tesla MYP in roughly a week and stumbled across this portable car jump starter + air compressor combo (DXAEJ14) from DEWALT. I've seen a handful of both portable jump packs and tire inflators, but so far, no 2-in-1s from a reputable brand (DEWALT, Makita, Milwaukee...

    If 12 volt battery dies what does one do?

    Maybe a silly concern, but does anyone using the "A23-battery-in-tow-hook-compartment" method have experience leaving it in there throughout the warmer months? I imagine it gets pretty hot in there when it's 90-100F outside. My understanding (which could be totally wrong) is that alkaline...

    What’s better for heat

    With respect to adding film to the windshield, it is - at least in my state - illegal to darken it past the visor line. I’m wondering, however, if you guys have experience with any type of clear film used solely for protection and heat rejection? Thought I saw some clear films on the interwebs...

    Multiple people on a message/text

    Don’t have my car yet, so wasn’t aware of this oversight. To be clear, you’re saying the car will display multiple numbers/contacts when receiving a group message, but is unable to respond in kind? Good to know, I guess. Now if I see group messages on-screen I know not to even bother until I...

    [UK] Anyone else considering refusing delivery by of Model Y? (USS)

    While it's 100% a personal decision based on your situation and preferences, here's my niche take that ultimately led me to keep my MYP reservation: Wife and I were not looking for a new car, much less a friggin' $50k+ Tesla. We've been a single car family for about a year now and really had no...

    Rejected VIN "Repository" - Does it Exist?

    Rejected VIN "Repository" - Does it Exist?

    I've seen various discussions across the forum where folks occasionally reference a Google spreadsheet or some other document where rejected VINs are supposedly being collected and stored so others can - at a glance - check if they are receiving a previously rejected vehicle. Unfortunately, I'm...

    Wall charger V3 shows lower voltage.

    Unfortunately, I can’t really explain the reading you’re seeing. We did, however, have our gen 3 wall connector professionally installed this morning and last I checked, it was reading 237.xV. Maybe small variance in voltage is expected and normal - not sure, but at least you’re not alone...

    Pics of Rally Armor Mud Flaps

    Thanks @greatauror28 ! That's pretty cool - I didn't expect them to look so different under different conditions. In the first picture, they look nearly gray/white, and in the second picture they appear black (invisible).

    Pics of Rally Armor Mud Flaps

    Sorry to revive this thread - MYP will be delivered soon (hopefully) and about to pull the trigger on a set of Rally Armor flaps. I was just curious if anyone bought the "Metallic Black" (font) set? I see a lot of gray/white ones and was just wondering what the metallic black font looks like...

    IRS raises maximum eligible price limit to $80k for Model Y

    Not sure if this is the appropriate place for this question - will post elsewhere if needed. Wondering if anyone who switched from MYLR to MYP today (3-FEB) has seen the updated car model reflected in the app yet? The backend seems to update immediately (i.e. logging into Tesla via web browser...

    Tesla OEM All Weather Mats vs Weathertech Mats for 2023 MY

    We bought the floor mats and cargo mats from Tesla, but don't have the car yet so can't comment on fitment or anything! Those Tuxmats look pretty cool though. I didn't think about an indent or perforation so you can lift part of the floor up to access the sub trunk - can any Tuxmat owners...

    Model Y 5 seater sliding second row retrofit / mod from a 7 seater

    Interested in this as well if there's ever an easy-in / easy-out option. Wife and I were on the fence for a while regarding 5-seater vs 7-seater but ultimately went with 5 due to the size of the 3rd row (and price bump +$1,000USD IIRC).

    Model Y Accessories - Positive Vendor/Product Experiences

    Hi all - new Model Y owner here! Since ordering a few days ago, we've started down the rabbit hole of accessory shopping for our new car. While sifting through various YouTube videos, websites, and products, I found myself wondering which websites and vendors folks in the community have had the...
